That was a good first post. Much better than my first post. Keep that up and you will bury my humble attempts at notoriety.

BYU has 5 white boys on the floor right now.

University of Iowa-Provo??

I hope the Big 12 wins every non-con game but if the conference is going to suck like the Big 10 in football, we (the team) has the talent to take advantage of a weak conference.

I agree, which means you know a lot... Ha ha. But that is the reality of it

Once teams start to gel over the next few weeks, they'll be completely different team. Heck, I'm sure we'll have a ugly loss before January.

These losses mean nothing? Last year's losses to Drake and UNI certainly meant something...like getting a poor seed in the NCAA.

If you lose to schools like UNI and Drake they mean something. If you lose to schools like Gonzaga and Michigan State, they most likely won't hurt you especially so early in the season.

Every loss hurts to some degree. A team that goes 29-4 would be better off 31-2, even if those two losses were to MSU or Gonzaga.

Not really a fair comparison because the big 12 will be average as a basketball conference and the b1g was absolutely terrible in football this year, like MAC bad.

"Wait, losses aren't good?"

Think okie st might be the 2nd best team in this conference.......behind isu of course

Good match-up coming on ESPN2 right now. Okie State vs. #6 NC State.
